Category: DONUT Queen

Okay…it was claimed that donuts belonged to the top 10 food that is not good for our health. What the heck. I make sure to balance my diet with the healthy ones, remember I’m a broccoli/ blueberry girl (among other fruits & vegees)!

The truth of the matter is. From the list of my favorite “sweet treats” which is also known as desert. Donuts if not on top my list, had always been part of it.

I remember during highschool. My then boyfriend used to hang out as often as we could on this Donuts store a few blocks away from our school. We actually had our first date there. Mushy. Whenever I was with him, I choose the long versions conscious enough to eat them with poise, I’m worried all the time, that If I ordered the round ones, I may not be able to eat them primly and properly. Lol!

Mind you, when he’s not around and I am with my girl friends. I devoured on the round ones! Not minding as to whether how unprim I am going to consume them. There’s a large glass of Coke anyway. Donut + Coke = Lethal combination.

Going back, I am just an ordinary girl craving for “sweet treats” and Donuts seems to be so attractive to me, lures me upon seeing its different flavors that comes in several colors and shapes and with their successful advertisements achieving a lot in convincing me that its okay to binge from time to time to “sweets”. (–,) Or literally, forgetting about “Healthy diet” and giving in to this decadent temptation.

Let me enumerate them:

Krispy Kreme

NY cheesecake..

Mister Donut

Twist and Bavarian..

Dunkin Donuts

I must say that I love their color combination of fuchsia and orange, they’re such a happy color for me. Originally, as a young teenager, I am already happy with the Bavarian flavored donuts and munchkins. Recently, DD came up with new flavors. Of course, I have chosen this:

What’s nice with this new Donut store in town, is that they offer variety – they have of course coffee to match the donuts, they have sandwiches and they have frozen yogurt. =)

Cafe Macaron (Raffles Hotel)

Raffles came up with their own Doussant (doh-sant), just like what MD did. Though Raffles prepares a limited stock daily, in order for them to keep them fresh everyday.

Pistacchio & Cinnamon variants..

Cello’s Donuts (Katipunan)

Proudly Pinoy-made..

Scarsdale Artisanal Doughnuts (Mandaluyong)

My S’mores from the famous Scarsdale Artisanal Donuts..

I am not trying to rewrite the rules of healthy living. Though indulging on these won’t hurt a lot, after those palatial bites – remain perpetuating parity in what is good to our health and what’s not.

Hi! I’m Beaut!

They used to call me “Laguna girl”. I grew up in San Pedro, Laguna in the Southern part of the Philippines. An only daughter with an only son.Passionate with so many things. A lover of life itself. First is to write. I used to sing (I specifically love the stage), I read a lot,

I cook simple to challenging recipes for my loved ones, I travel to capture breathtaking pictures (inheriting my passion in Photography from my late father), a nature lover, I find rainbows, butterflies,

flowers,

rainbows and trees as God’s most beautiful gifts.

I love it that traveling allows me try and learn cuisines that are new to me (being a foodie) and I get to meet different people too.

I do abstract painting, I am a Craft enthusiast (quilting & scrap-booking), all of which are my own way of expressing my love for life and surround myself with anything but pretty.

Blogging makes me happy and I want to see if I’m going to click in that premise. Sharing anything that might benefit my circle and mankind too, specifically my fellow Filipinos here and abroad.

I’m a color devotee and been in love with the color purple or violet.

I like pink, red and teal too! =) I dreamt of joining that team who does colorful outdoor murals. Or anything that has to do with the Arts.

Coffee is my water,

and my comfort food are: blueberry cheesecake, frozen yogurt, sansrival and cream puff. I mastered fettuccine carbonara because it is my favorite, along broccoli with prawns and mushrooms.

I love “Stitch” – that grinning indigo pup and still in love with Daryl (remember those muscles in the series “The Walking Dead”).

I have a sort of vintage taste for Interior Designing, Gardening and Fashion (must be the gypsy in me). I am awed by it validating my wondering if I am an old soul.

Ultimately, I intend to be a not so famous Author someday. I’m just waiting for God’s time for my first book to be published.

Please drop by for a comment or two, you are always welcome here, come fly with me “On Purple Wings!”(–,)
